UNSPSC 50415910: Organic sante shallots

The variety of organic shallots known as organic sante shallots

UNSPSC 50415910 Organic sante shallots, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. School districts and state agencies are soliciting fresh produce broadly—including fruits, vegetables, and eggs—but the recent opportunities do not specify organic sante shallots or equivalent specialty allium products as line items or focal categories. The code sits within a much broader market for fresh produce procurement driven primarily by child nutrition programs and state food service operations, where produce categories are typically defined by commodity type (apples, carrots, broccoli, strawberries) and pack size rather than by organic certification or varietal specificity.

State and local procurement under this code tier is dominated by school districts (Early County Board of Education, Northside Independent School District in Texas, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Bulloch County School District in Georgia, Rockwood R-VI in Missouri, Liberty County Board of Education in Georgia, Muscogee County School District in Georgia, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System in Georgia, Glynn County Board of Education in Georgia, McAllen Independent School District in Texas, and Austin Independent School District in Texas), with secondary activity from state departments (Georgia state operations) and a cooperative purchasing vehicle (GEC Buying Cooperative spanning 30 Georgia school districts). Recent solicitations span Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Missouri; Georgia school districts show the highest concentration of recent posting activity. Representative opportunities include the Early County Board of Education's RFP for line-by-line food bids (response due June 8, 2026) covering approximately 300 food items with emphasis on domestic sourcing and whole-grain compliance; Northside Independent School District's RFP 2026-048 for fresh produce supporting child nutrition (response due May 7, 2026) emphasizing USDA Child Nutrition Reimbursable compliance and Texas-grown product preference; and the GEC Buying Cooperative's RFP SN 26-004 (response due March 4, 2026) covering approximately 72 produce line items across 30 Georgia districts with estimated annual spend of $4.4 million for Area One and $1.1 million for Area Two. Evaluation criteria across these solicitations emphasize price competitiveness, product quality and freshness, on-time delivery, HACCP compliance, and adherence to Buy American provisions; set-asides for disadvantaged enterprises are uncommon in the recent postings reviewed.
